WWE Extreme Rules: 10 Things Overly Optimistic Fans Hope Will Happen
6. The Ascension Debuts After The Usos Win
The tag division is one of those things that was really hot during the majority of last year. When The Shield's duo of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were carrying the gold only to drop it to Cody Rhodes and Goldust, WWE was doing a phenomenal job of building up teams during that period. It just felt like everything was clicking. Then they put the tag titles on the New Age Outlaws and it hurt a bit. At least they got it right by putting the tag titles on the Usos, but even that would have been better at WrestleMania. It's time for WWE to bring up the best team in NXT: The Ascension. They're a heel duo that has a dark, demonic look to them. Their gimmick will immediately catch the eyes of the fans because they're not like other teams in WWE. They don't smile or do promos where they rip on the local fans for being dumb. We know that WWE likes to have video packages for debuting talents, but when it comes to The Ascension it's not necessary. They should just show up after The Usos beat Ryback & Axel and kick their ass. Make an impact immediately. A feud between two actual teams that have different styles would really work. There's no reason to keep The Ascension in NXT for much longer. They're ready for the big time.
